Hey Clutterbugs! It's halfway through 2026, and if you haven't decluttered your home yet, you haven't failed—you're just getting started again. In this episode, I'm sharing my best organizing tips and decluttering strategies to help you restart your home organization journey, overcome clutter overwhelm, and get back on track for that clutter free home of former New Years resolution dreams.

If you set big organizing goals in January and you're still drowning in clutter, this episode is your wake-up call. This is all just part of the process - stopping and restarting isn’t just common, it’s part of the process! I’m breaking down why we struggle (spoiler: it's not laziness), how to find your minimum effort threshold, and why your messy home might actually be full of organizing products you don't need.

We're talking decluttering strategies for ADHD brains, the difference between decluttering vs. organizing vs. tidying vs. cleaning (yes, they're different!), and how to use your Clutterbug Organizing Style to finally create systems that stick.

In this episode, you'll learn:

How many times you need to stop and start before habits stick

The visible win rule for instant gratification

Why your minimum effort threshold is the secret to consistency

Stop waiting for the perfect time. Stop feeling guilty. Stop letting your stuff win. You're the boss . . . let's act like it!
